<addressline> Address Line

<addressline> is a generic element used to encode a single line of an address (postal, email, telephone, etc.). It occurs within <address> and may be repeated as many times as necessary to enter all the pertinent information.

Attributes

  • @altrender – not required. Use if the content of the element should be displayed or printed differently than the rendering established in a style sheet for other occurrences of the element.
  • @audience – not required. Use to set whether the element’s contents will be visible to external users or to internal ones. Possible values are: “internal” and “external.”
  • @id – not required. Creates an ID for element. Can be used for linking.

  • @localtype – not required. This attribute may be used within a number of elements. Its characteristics depend on the element to which it applies. There is no list of specific values for @localtype within <addressline>, but it may be used for encoding information about the type of address line: email, phone, street, city, etc..
